Chapter 196: Spring Migration

The girl slowly landed on the ground. "No, there is a 30-minute cooldown period after use. You can try it in half an hour."

The little bear, wiggling its butt, also stopped and floated next to her. However, she still handed the bear to my best friend.

The best friend hugged the little bear and linked arms with her, saying, "Let's go for a walk and eat something delicious."

Spring is abundant in supplies, and a variety of delicacies are sold in the city's stalls. Recently, they have been eating in different ways so that they don't have to worry about gaining weight.

In Zhuang Yun's store, many ordinary residents saw all kinds of meats and bought some. The green beef, which had the least quantity and was the most expensive, sold out in just a few minutes.

There are also car model props that can be exchanged for mounts. Everyone in the city knows this, and since the store manager is willing to sell them, they all spend money to buy more.

With the mount, they can also experience what it feels like to stay suspended in mid-air.

Just like that, on the first day, most of the items in An An's store were sold, and many children still came to An An, envying her for opening a store.

However, Zhuang Yun has made a start, and other professional residents are also interested in opening stores.

Some ordinary residents, such as those who have acquired blacksmithing skills, want to open a shop. To make equipment, they must have professional instruments.

Lu Jiu was happy with this. She learned from An An that the residents could potentially create a wider range of weapons by producing their own. When the time comes, it would be better for a hundred flowers to bloom than for one to stand alone.

After the busy business opening, Zhuang Yun returned to the team and focused on hunting wild monsters.

During this time, there were an increasing number of wild monsters outside the city, and professional players were on high alert.

In other cities, several city-states began their migration with the arrival of spring.

There were originally more than a hundred city-states in Jinjiang District, but now only a few dozen remain. Most of the city-states with weak defenses managed to survive the winter, although there were still casualties.

Somewhere in Jinjiang District, a team of dozens of people were leaving the original city-state for Xuantian City.

In the brigade, there are mostly ordinary residents, and then there are professional residents. They are all on the periphery to prevent wild monsters from appearing and do not have time to deal with them.

More people could have gathered, but professional residents discovered that the number of wild monsters that appeared was determined by the number of players.

If hundreds of people come together and spawn an excessive number of wild monsters, the professional residents will not be able to handle them.

There is no way everyone can only be divided into teams.

The grass will soon grow to the height of an adult man's chest, and the people walking in front will have the most trouble, as they will need to clear the ground for easier walking.

"When can we get to Xuantian City?" A young man was chopping grass with a long knife and muttering.

He appeared to be in his twenties, and he was a little tired of using his knife to cut grass.

The middle-aged man next to him calmed him down, saying, "It's still early. I estimate that it will take approximately two weeks. Because we are traveling together, we can only walk."

There are many wild monsters in the spring, and they often have to stop more than twenty times a day to deal with them. Wild monsters are more active at night, so be prepared to face multiple waves.

The young man glanced back at the ordinary residents who were nervously following them and suppressed the annoyance in his heart. "I hope we can get there soon. We don't know when the beast tide will come."

The middle-aged man heard what he said and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Don't be discouraged. The wild monsters you kill these days drop a lot of resources. When you arrive in Xuantian City, I will treat you to meals for a week."

Then, he was surrounded by professional players. Ordinary people were walking, with the woman and her child in the center, followed by the older ones.

There are numerous migration teams, not only in Jinjiang District, but also throughout Yangshan City and even in other cities.

In the team, the woman holding the child looked back and forth nervously. She held the child's head on her shoulder with her right hand, ready to block her sight immediately in case a wild monster appeared.

The child nestled in her mother's arms and asked, "Mom, how much longer until we get there? I want to ride a big horse. Where is dad?"

The mother gently stroked her son's back, reassuring him, "Dad is protecting everyone. When we get to the place where we live, I will take you for a ride on a big horse."

In the past, my son enjoyed sitting on his father's shoulders and pretending to ride a big horse. He has been on the road recently. Everyone is in a tense state and does not coax his son much.

The child has become more sensible after more than half a year. "Okay, wait until we get home before riding the big horse."

Not only is this child sensible, but the children in the middle of the team are as well. These more than half a year of life have made them understand the situation they are currently in. It's a dangerous environment, and we can no longer cry as willfully as before.

Everyone walked until noon when a few professional players found an open space and took a nap after finishing their lunch.

We were finally able to take a break. Everyone was next to each other, but the father of the child had just finished making rounds and returned to see his wife and children.

The child saw his father and immediately reached out to hug him, saying, "Dad, hug me!"

The man put away his weapon and picked up his son. But this time, out in the wilderness, everyone was very tired, so he simply rubbed his son's head.

"Xiaobao, have you been good today? When we get home, Daddy will stay at home for two days to spend time with you."

The child smiled excitedly, and the man "shushed" to indicate that he should not disturb others with his loud voice.

The child, Xiaobao, covered his mouth and stared at his father with his bright eyes. Then he let go and said, "Then it's settled, Dad."

"It's settled, a man keeps his word."

The woman looked at her husband and said the son was talking and laughing, and immediately felt relieved. No matter how difficult the journey was, it was a blessing that the family could be together.

With gray feathers, round heads, and chubby bodies, several wild finches are besieging her.

They fly fast and move quickly. Because there are so many of them, several people have been pecked more than once.

The bronze-mutated Gray Bird wild monster is much faster than the wild monsters encountered previously.

After killing them all, they obtained various materials that could be used to make wings.

Lu Jiu shook her hair, "They are very fast. We should be able to make good wings with these this time."

Yong Lin also followed them out this time. He saw a gray bird's wing in his backpack, which suggested that it could be used to make wings. Finally, it's time to customize.

Zhuang Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It's a pity that I still don't know how to make these, even after learning blacksmithing skills. It just so happens that an acquaintance wants it."

His temporary teammates, who had worked together many times before, wanted this kind of material, but they never got it.

Shen Jufeng took the materials. He didn't want to learn how to make them. The equipment customized for him by the NPC in the city was quite good. Rather than making equipment, he preferred to venture out and hunt wild monsters.

Lu Jiu asked Yong Lin in a low voice, "Do you have the materials?" If not, she could sell one to him.

Yong Lin said, "I got one. I'll go back and ask the store manager if I can customize it, so I won't be so passive when dealing with wild monsters in the future."

Just like dealing with the gray sparrow today, he could only handle one. Fortunately, he was lucky and the reward was two special gray feathers inside, which are needed to make wings.
